What is Damp Proofing?
Damp proofing prevents moisture from entering your home through the walls, floors or roof. It typically uses materials like membranes or sealants to stop issues such as rising damp, condensation or water intrusion.
For homeowners, effective damp proofing protects the building’s structure, helps prevent damage to plaster and timber, and reduces the risk of mould.

Rising Damp Solutions In Stockport
Rising damp is usually treated by injecting a silicone based damp proof course into the affected wall to form a new moisture barrier. Where necessary, damaged plaster is carefully removed and replaced with specialist renovating plaster or a cavity wall membrane system designed to manage damp effectively.
Although most properties across Stockport were built with a damp proof course, problems can still arise if it was incorrectly installed, has deteriorated with age, or if external ground levels have been raised and are allowing moisture to track above the original barrier.
All of our rising damp treatments are backed by a 25 year guarantee, providing long term, dependable protection for your home.

Penetrating Damp Solutions in Stockport
If you have noticed mould growth, damp patches or staining on walls and ceilings, it could indicate penetrating damp within your Stockport home.
One of our qualified surveyors will carry out a detailed inspection to identify the source of the issue and recommend the most appropriate solution. This may involve removing affected materials, installing a waterproof membrane to assist with controlled drying, and addressing external defects such as cracked brickwork, damaged render or roofing faults. To reduce the risk of further moisture ingress, we can also apply a breathable water repellent treatment to the exterior walls.
All penetrating damp treatments are supported by a 25 year guarantee, giving you complete confidence that your property is properly safeguarded for the long term.

How do I know if I have damp in my Stockport home?
Common signs of damp include peeling paint, bubbling plaster, mould growth, musty smells and tide marks on internal walls. In parts of Stockport with older housing stock, rising damp and penetrating damp are particularly common. Condensation can also cause ongoing issues if ventilation is poor. At Home Energy Save GB, we carry out detailed inspections to identify the exact cause, as correct diagnosis is essential before recommending any treatment.
What causes rising damp in properties across Stockport?
Rising damp occurs when moisture travels up through brickwork from the ground. This can happen if the original damp proof course has failed, deteriorated over time or has been bridged by high external ground levels. Many properties in Stockport were built decades ago, so ageing materials can be a factor. We assess the condition of your existing damp proof course and recommend the most effective long term solution.
Is damp common in older homes in Stockport?
Yes, damp can be more common in older properties, particularly Victorian and Edwardian homes found throughout Stockport. These buildings may have older damp proof courses or solid walls that behave differently to modern cavity construction. Weather exposure and changes made over time can also contribute. Our team has over 40 years of experience dealing with damp in all property types, ensuring solutions are tailored to the structure.
Do I need a damp proof course if my home already has one?
Most homes were built with a damp proof course, but this does not mean it will last forever. Over time it can break down, become bridged or lose effectiveness. If you are seeing signs of rising damp, your existing barrier may no longer be working as intended. We carry out a full survey to determine whether remedial damp proofing is required before suggesting any treatment.
How much does damp proofing in Stockport usually cost?
The cost of damp proofing depends on the type of damp, the extent of the damage and the size of the affected area. Rising damp treatment will differ in price compared to condensation control or penetrating damp repairs. We provide a free damp survey across Stockport and supply a clear, detailed report outlining recommended works and transparent pricing, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
